Secretary Bayard that negoti ations with
Canada are pending. 1t is interesting to
learn that the Stste Department is waking
up on the fishing question.
The cholera is now raging with fearful
mortality in Chill. a country it has never
before visited as a scourge. If it reaches
the United States the coming year it will
likely be bv way of Mexico and California.
OF Mr. Farwell the newly elected Sen
ator from Illinois the Chicago Inter Ocean
saws: .'Mr. Farwell is well known the
country over, and is as conspicuous for his
sterling repubicanism az for the qualities
that have made him prominent as a bust
ness man and man of affairs. His instincts
and convictions are right. and he is right
on all the great questions before the coun-
try. There is advantage to the State as
well as to the party in all this, and
throughout the country there will be ready
recognition of the eminent fitness of Mr..
FarwelI's nomination"
The final crop report OF the Agricultu-
raj Bureau discloses the fact that farmers
got more money for corn and oats last year
but less for wheat. The yield of the year
was 457 900. 900 bushels of wheat, !, 465,-
600 900 bushels of corn, and ga, 90, 900
bushels of oats. Great surplus stocks of
wheat held on speculation depressed this
market, and the average price was 6S7
cents per bushel. against III cents in
1885. Our exports hold up well, though
wheat has been going out in smaller
quantities. At the same time grain re.
ceipts are materially lighter at primary
markets. During December the value of
breadstuffs exported was $4,000. 900,
against Sl0,000,000 in 1885, and every
available vessel is now engaged in the

Evaporated Apples.

In view of the fact that the
season approache when the "dried
apple question may be expected
to come up again for discussion
we append the following notes ON
the subject taken from an ESSAY
read by o. W. Peck, NJ. D., of
Oneonta, n. Y. before the Hill
Land Horticultural Society of Cen
trail New York. After reviewing
the oldfashioned methods Of
drying apples, the speaker turned
to the consideration of the process
of evaporation. Among other
things he said: The magnitude
of the business in this State led
the State Board of Health in the
year 1888 to cause a critical and
scientific examination and study of
the subject of evaporated apples
to be made, with a view to ascer-
tanning whether the process of
evaporating was, either by itself
or by reason of any substance
used in the process, deleterious.
or rendered the fruit in any way
preJudicial to health. The work
was intrusted to Prof. Samuel A.
baltimore, Phi, D., of the Univer-
slty of Rochester, n. Y. and to
